It’s Wednesday. Back in the day, pickups had it rough. Unlike today’s trucks that are mostly blinged-out status symbols that rarely get dirty, the trucks of old were generally worked hard for decades until they were completely used up. Fortunately, the two trucks featured today are an exception because they’re in fantastic shape and both happen to be 50 years old! Owned by Pat, a reader who is recently retired, the orange one is a 1970 Chevrolet C10 and the dump-truck is a 1970 Chevrolet C30. A huge thanks to Pat for taking the time to share his classic trucks!

Hi Keep, I start every day with your site! Keep up the good work! My trucks are 50 this year (both are 1970’s)! The orange is a half ton (c10) with a 350 automatic transmission. The bye is a 1 ton (c30) dually converted to a dump truck. I recently finished the restoration on the dump as a retirement project! Feel free to use any/all. -Pat
Done for the season
It’s Thursday. Well, that’s about it. Took the Vette out yesterday for one last spin before putting it away for the winter. A friend of mine told me about a house in her neighborhood that was decorated with homemade characters from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s one of my favorite Halloween movies, so I thought I’d check it out. When I got there I was surprised to see not only Jack Skellington and Sally, but also Oggie Boogie and Lock, Shock, and Barrel. As you can see in the photo above, she did a damn good job! It’s one thing to buy Halloween decorations, but to have the talent to make them yourself, that’s cool.
